Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.145in Bore - Vortec Heads

Cometic Gasket has a reputation for making solid sealing components. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, specifically designed to work with Vortec heads. It features a compressed operating thickness of .030 inches and a 4.145-inch bore, making it a good choice for rebuilding or upgrading these popular V8s.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes. This design means the gasket seals well without needing extra sealants, and it can handle the differences in expansion between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .030 inches on this particular gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. It's a well-made part designed for reliable performance in these classic V8 applications.
